BIOGRAPHY

Nick Griffin started his stand up career in Kansas City at the age of nineteen. By the time he graduated from college three years later, he was working full time all across the country. He moved to New York City in 1990 cutting his teeth on midnight shows in Greenwich Village. He was poor and alone but getting funnier and funnier. Eventually he relocated to Los Angeles and quickly became a regular at the world famous Improv and The Comedy and Magic Club in Hermosa Beach. During this time, he appeared on a handful of television shows including A&E’s “An Evening at the Improv” and Comedy on the Road. In 1998 he was invited to take part in the New Faces show at The HBO Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen. That same year he made his network television debut on CBS’ Late Late Show as well as Comedy Central’s Premium Blend. Nick also made over 10 appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman and has taped his own “Comedy Central Presents… Nick Griffin” special.  Since then, Nick continues to be a talk show favorite having made multiple appearances on Conan as well as The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. His latest special Nick Griffin: Cheer Up is now available on iTunes and Amazon Prime. Nick is still alone, but still getting funnier with each passing day (Why screw up a good formula, right?). His comedy is personal, precise and powerful. It’s true.
